    We recommend that you create a new folder. We created a folder in the Documents folder called Mail Backup. Within that folder we created another folder with a name of today's date.
    You can create the folders after you click Browse.
    Note! There is a bug in Windows Mail, so sometimes you will have to browse to the directory twice before the path to the folder is correct. Verify the folder before you continue.
